It’s interesting to see the different ways the scoreboard was lit up behind them.

But alas, Harris’ rocket was a dud. The Astros not only lost the home opener 2-0, but the team finished in ninth place, no better than they did in 1964, according to Baseball-Reference.com. Hey, at least they finished ahead of the Mets.

Ahhh, yes. The Spacettes were the cute girl ushers, dressed in “futuristic unis, who escorted you to your seat and the ground crew, wearing space helmets and imitation space suits……must have been pretty warm wearing that get up.

This photo appeared on the front page of the Houston Post. Note the time as well, 10:58 a.m.

I’m assuming the paper took the photo sometime after the Yankees series and before the home opener that night. This was probably for the paper’s purpose as I’m not aware of it showing up anywhere else.
